Netflix has developed a new term for its super fans – binge racers. That is a person who can successfully watch an entire series in a day, yes one series in just 24 hours.

According to statistics from the US-based streaming giant ahead of the release of the second season of its original series Stranger Things, there are more than eight million binge racers around the world.

And Australia is the world's eighth biggest binge racing nation – plus there's one Aussie who has been particularly devoted to Netflix this year.

The unknown television fan binge raced through 13 shows this year. That person, who clearly has a lot of time on their hands (and no judgement for that!) is ranked 12th globally on Netflix's binge racing rankings.

And examining Australia's binge racers, the ACT tops the list as the biggest territory for the trend per capita.

Queensland comes in second, followed by Tasmania, 'Other AU' (those who have not necessarily identified a region) came in at fourth, while South Australia claimed fifth place.

Victoria was next, with Western Australia taking out the seventh position while New South Wales settled for the last position.

When it comes to what shows Aussies were willing to devote a whole day to – Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life topped the list followed by Marvel's The Defenders.

Drew Barrymore's Santa Clarita Diet came in third followed by The Seven Deadly Sins and The Ranch. Fuller House came in at sixth place, followed by Atypical, White Gold and Friends From College. F is for Family rounded out the top ten.

Stranger Things came in at 11th, followed by Grace and Frankie, Orange is The New Black, GLOW and Wet Hot American Summer: 10 Years Later.

Frontier grabbed 16th position, while Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was at 17th, followed by You Me Her, Chewing Gum and Anne with an E.

While White Gold, which stars Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick, was at eighth on the list for top binge raced shows in Australia, we did have the highest percent of binge racers globally for the UK show.
